Weekly Roundup: Save Money on Your Phone and Energy Bills
Are you tired of breaking the bank on your phone and energy bills? This week, we’ve got some top tips to help you save money on both. From waiting for the right time to buy a new phone to switching to a cheaper energy tariff, we’ve got you covered.
5 Tips to Save Money on Your Phone
Buying a new phone can be a costly affair, but there are ways to reduce the cost. Here are five tips to help you save money on your next phone purchase:
- Wait for the big sales: Many smartphones can be found for reduced prices during sales, with the biggest two arguably being Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day.
-
Shop around for the cheapest prices: If you don’t want to wait for a sale, then it’s worth at least shopping around, as not all stores or carriers will charge the same amount for a phone.
-
Trade in your old device: One easy way to take the sting out of the price of a new smartphone is to trade in your old device towards it.
-
Buy a pre-owned handset: Just as you can sell your old phone to save some money on a new handset, you could also choose to buy someone else’s old phone, since this will be cheaper than a new handset.
-
Get an older model: Ok, so you might not want to buy a pre-owned handset, but it’s equally worth considering a new but older model.
